HALIFAX -- After several scandalous media appearances, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is taking his act to TV on a regular basis.

As the Toronto City Council seeks to oust Ford from office with the help of the Ontario provincial government, the embattled mayor and his brother Doug Ford will host their own TV talk show on Sun News Network, starting Monday night at 8 p.m.

Called Ford Nation, the Ford brothers' talker is tailor-made for Sun News Network, a conservative-skewing 24/7 news channel faced with extinction for want of subscribers.

The mayor later returned to the microphones at City Hall for another hastily called press conference, this time to apologize for using "unforgivable language," while his wife, Renata Ford, stood at his side.

Ford has in recent days become increasingly marginalized politically after admitting to smoking crack cocaine and purchasing illicit drugs while serving as mayor.

In the face of the increasing media circus gripping Toronto City Hall, captured by the world media and U.S. late-night talkers, the province of Ontario on Thursday said it will step in to deal with Ford if asked to do so.
